As I re-painted the front bumper due to a scratch, I decide to take away the ugly and wrong size front license plate holder. I think that the car looks much nicer now.

Now I am just missing the ///M rear mirrors but they are coming soon.

Looks great but I would personally loose the M badge in the rear.

I agree. I saw an e39 535i yesterday with an M badge on the LHS - made me laugh.

Looks nice.

With regards to the M badge, personally I wouldn't have it on my car - but I know it's been a politically correct/accepted "fashion accessory" in the Mediterranean region since I can remember, especially if you have M-tech stuff on your car. (Only the ///M badge) - honestly, doesn't bother me.

Very nice!
Good decision to remove the license plate holder. Ti-Silver really highlights the design and outlines of the Car.
